has anyone removed their hard top yet?
if so how heavy is it? can me and wifey handle it or do I have to buy my buddies beer to come help everytime I take it off ?
I've owned two yj's but both were soft tops.
would a hoist be money well spent?
I saw some quick disconnect type handles that replace the nuts and bolts that seems to make better sense than jumping in the back with a drill evrytime.

What are the storage options if you don't use a hoist? Can you just stand it on end in the garage?--or do you at least have to use one of those dollys or other type of stand?...

How high is your garage ceiling? I don't use a hoist. I built a shelf/platform with 2x4's and plywood and lag-bolted it into the ceiling studs. Twice a year I swap out the hard top to the soft top, etc.

Nice picture--that would work for me. Do you remember how low it hangs from the ceiling?

Thanks,

Off the top of my head, I don't remember. I cut the lengths of the 2x4's hanging down from the ceiling to be about 6" longer than the height of my Hard Top. Cost of materials for the whole thing was about $60.
